I am a retired Florist of 56 years and have been preserving flowers, by the Freeze Dry process for 28 years. I had these two companies run at the same time, but I just do the preserved flowers for now. I have had many requests for putting preserved, color treated (so never any fading through the decades) flowers into resin…especially single flowers…like the “Rose” from an casket, which becomes very meaningful…like into a 3″ round paperweight. I am old and like to learn new things…but need to be perfect! I also have flat, small cake pans, in the shape of 7″ hearts made out of silicone and circles, so I can put a few more flowers inside, to hang on a wall. These will be maybe 2″ deep.

They’re essential tools for applying and spreading the adhesive smoothly. Yes, we’re talking about heat guns in epoxy resin application. You see, a heat gun plays an integral role in ensuring your epoxy resin project turns out perfect. It has a comfortable handle, variable temperature settings modified with a switch and a wheel adjustment, and overload protection. Some of the more compact heat guns for crafting use have shorter cords around 3 feet. While these aren’t ideal, they’ll still work okay. The classic heat gun’s shape reflects its name – it looks like a big gun, and the switch and temperature control is on the handle, like a trigger. This shape is better for working on countertops, tables, floors. 7) Extra features

Let’s say you have carefully measured the perfect amounts of hardener and resin, so there will be no mistake in creating your very latest resin project. So you start pouring and spreading the resin, and you notice all the annoying bubbles coming out on the surface of the epoxy resin. Thus, the battle to remove resin bubbles begins. Easier Application: A heat gun helps to flow the resin easily over your work surface; it’s like watching a beautiful dance of glossy liquid. Also, in acrylic pouring, the hair dryer is used to blow the paint in different directions to create awesome designs... and as I already mentioned previously, the heat gun doesn't have enough air force compared to a hair dryer. So in this case, the heat gun will be of no use and you will want to choose a blow dryer inst Heat guns are also amazing tools to push the flow of your resin around. They make great lacing cells in resin if you are into those beautiful beachy scenes where the white crest of the waves float over the dark blue resin oceans. This is achieved with the help of a great heat gun. It is always better to choose a heat gun that has two temperature settings: low and high. But the lowest temperature should still be within the recommended range, otherwise, this heat gun is not worth the money. The lower temperature is good for small crafts and large surfaces ( so you will not risk overheating). For epoxy, you don’t need temperatures above 600-700F.
